Aw. I have been that child! I still have a friend over for piano and singing sometimes.

Amazing structure, Will. Are these 10 or 20 credit modules?

Many years ago as a waitress, we had a little butter curler that did just that but smaller curls. I had completely forgotten that useful information til just now!

I mean if you manage to include step 2 as well as 1 and 3 then that's a win right?

Oo remind me to slot this into the Intro 2 lecture on Affiliation next year!

We are all affected by our visual environment BUT the specific pressures around hyper muscularity are much more relevant for men's body image than women's partner preferences.

So a question for @drjoannepaul.bsky.social - a Jodi Taylor novel has a plot line where Mary is assassinated, Jane rules - and becomes a puritanical tyrant, who engages in mass burnings, ends up deeply unpopular and loses to Spanish invasion...
Do we know how likely that outcome would've been?

I enjoyed having to give it a few moments thought.

Monopoly?

I know a man who described his mother as 'scotch' isn't going to have even the slightest grasp on what the 'vikings' and Inuit were doing 1000+ years ago, let alone early modern Norway/Denmark but the pedant in me is going with the historical foolery.

I would absolutely hire that as a holiday home for a week.

Pregnancy was also excellent for my knees but alas it was temporary (and probably due to the anti inflammatory hormones rather than stem cells turning into new cartilage or something.)

That's so funny
I was telling someone just this weekend about a scar from a nasty burn I got pre baby 1 and then couldn't find the damn thing. I wonder if that's how it vanished. It looked set to be a long term one (2mm deep even once healed.)

Gender studies really is the quintessential "useless" major that correctly explains basically everything that's going on in the world right now

Well they didn’t seem to want to learn what a group of psychology and history PhD students inc one with first hand civil war experience had to say about ethnic tensions, the credibility of US/UK WMD claims, or postwar planning.

They all had plans to go back to the US and work in the Pentagon or similar.

The difference in the IR/ISS students who arrived in 2001, and those who arrived in 2002 having applied after 9/11, was quite stark.

They should all be management/senior level in whatever service they went into now.

In 2003 I, my British-Pakistani labmate, and a historian who was also the daughter of a Sri Lankan diplomat, watched the Iraq invasion speech with 5 USian International Security Studies MA students.
Big argument followed. We were alas right about everything that was to come. They were 100% wrong.

The fact that it requires editors to cite sources makes it super useful. I can follow those links and make my own judgement on if I trust it, and the collective approach to content revisions means there's often multiple perspectives evident.
Unlike LLMs which elide everything with false confidence.
